A case of community-acquired Legionnaires' disease (LD) is described. The source of infection was traced to a push-on tap at the end of a long spur from the hot circulation system in a large old residential building which had been unoccupied for several weeks. Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 subgroup Pontiac was isolated from the patient's sputum and from the contaminated water supply. Isolates were shown to be indistinguishable from one another when subtyped by pulsed field gel electrophoresis of chromosomal DNA.
本文描述了一例社区获得性军团病（LD）病例。感染源追溯至一座大型老旧住宅楼热循环系统长支管末端的按压式水龙头，该楼已空置数周。从患者痰液和受污染的供水系统中分离出嗜肺军团菌血清1群庞蒂亚克亚群。通过染色体DNA脉冲场凝胶电泳进行亚型分析时，分离株显示彼此无法区分。
